Love in the time of politics in 1989 - this is the first thought that comes to mind about Pushpendra Nath Misra's Taj Mahal 1989. Showcasing two different generations back in 1989 - the teens and the adults - the story weaves magic at first, and later, all the love falls flat on the face. Taj Mahal 1989 will surely make you time travel back to the late '80s. Not exaggerating!

The first scene shows Rashmi (Anshul Chauhan) describing her perfect boyfriend Dharam (Paras Priyadarshan) and how happy she is in love with him. As the show moves further, their love story is lost somewhere in between when Dharam decides to contest student elections, giving rise to chaotic situations, involving guns more than roses. Angad (Anud Singh Dhaka), an orphan who keeps it cool, finds a new love interest in communalism while being a part of a party, under the wings of Mamta Roy Choudhary (Shirin Sewani).
